mail

I won Chara Michele's 200th post giveaway and here is what she sent me.Headbands (it turns out I do have enough hair to wear these, yay!) book marks, tags and some of her cards. Thanks, Chara, for the great package. :)

Roxanne and I planned a little fabric swap shortly after we both hit the fabricjackpot.And she also included this fun pincushion.I can't wait to use those scraps! And the pincushion is already in use.Thanks, Roxy.

I have my own parcels to send, but I often have a hard time finding a box to send it in. I got this fantastic idea from Roxanne...turn your box inside out. Unfold it along the seams, flip it around, tape it back together and...Viola! You have a box that is ready to ship that needs no wrapping.Why didn't I think of that?Another idea for using what you have. (or in my case using what Hjordi had.) Thanks to all of you who left comments on my last post on this subject. It was fun to get some new ideas.

Today my daughter has pigtails in her hair for the very first time and she looks like little Cindy Lou Who. It cracks me up.

Cindy Lou Who! How great...I toyed with the idea of having my little one be her for Halloween, but I got way too many "Who is that"...can you even believe that!??! I couldn't! Thanks for the lovley comment on my blog!

Ah you lucky woman, her finds were awesome-- I loved those quilted pieces, did she send you any?Great idea on the box transformation. I've been resorting to garbage picking for boxes off the curb on trash days. Can't wait until my 2 girls are old enough to be humiliated by this behavior!!
